Baby I need you, all alone in this big, empty room.  "I know, I'm just busy but, I promise you I'll be there soon."
     Baby come hold me, I'm getting cold and these windows don't lock like they used to.  "How about you come home to me, my clothes are torn and I am worn but, you know how much you mean to me."
     Baby I want you, closer than we've ever been before.  "I know I don't show you but, I've been around and I know I want you more."
     Baby I smell you, in your teeshirt I've wrapped myself up in.  "I sprayed it three times and laid it down upon your skin."  
     Baby I feel you, you're not here but, I remember just where you were.  "I wish I could pull you in closer, I rolled over and fell asleep to the thought of you breathing."
     Baby I taste you, on my tongue, I lick my lips, I miss the way you used to pout.  "I remember the first time I kissed you on your ear and the top of your skelp."
     Baby I see you, in the mirror, next to me, I close my eyes and you're there.  "I opened my eyes to you.  Last night I dreamt of keeping you safe, holding you tight, feeling you close, listening to you speak, watching your eyes close."
     Baby where are you?  "I'm here alone in this big, empty room. I see you in the corner with your hair ******* in a knot, you're hinting at me, "come lay down with me."
     As we lay down, your head on my chest for the night, I heard you mumble a question, asking me "baby, are we alright?"
     Yes baby, we're alright.  Now close your eyes and please, please, sleep tight.
